What is another word for plane polarized light?
Pronunciation: [plˈe͡ɪn pˈə͡ʊləɹˌa͡ɪzd lˈa͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Plane polarized light is a type of light that vibrates in a single plane in a perpendicular direction to its direction of propagation. It is also known as linearly polarized light, unpolarized light, and plane-polarized electromagnetic radiation. The process of converting unpolarized light into plane polarized light is called polarization. This phenomenon occurs when light is reflected off a surface, refracted through a medium or passing through certain types of materials that can filter out unwanted polarizations. The different synonyms for plane polarized light refer to its linear, unidirectional vibrational pattern that is useful in a diverse array of applications such as optical filters, polarizing sunglasses, and other optical devices.
